QuoteRichard Dreyfuss thinks Bill Murray is a "pig."

The 69-year-old actor starred alongside Bill in 1991 comedy 'What About Bob?' and the two famously didn't see eye-to-eye back then but even 26 years later, Richard still admits he "loathes" the actor.

Speaking to the Daily Telegraph, Richard said: "Bill Murray is a pig. What really irritates me about him is that he's a good golfer and I'm not and also, he's funny enough that, even now, although I loathe him, he makes me laugh."

Although the actor has starred in a number of big movies including 'American Graffiti' and won an Oscar for his role in 'The Goodbye Girl', Richard admitted he is broke and says he was never told he should set aside some of his money for a rainy day.

He said: "No one told me that you were supposed to put some of it aside each time for the future."

The 'Jaws' actor also revealed he developed an alcohol and drug problem simply because he grew up not liking himself.

Richard confessed: "I grew up not liking myself very much. I became a schmuck. I was doing drugs. I was drinking a bottle of cognac a day. I was sleeping with other men's wives. I got to the point where I wanted someone to stop the world so I could get off."

Meanwhile, Richard previously revealed that he's not interested in playing second fiddle in movies and likes to have the starring role.

He explained: "I like the starring role. I like being the star because that position means you have power. Being a supporting player means you only have power by the grace of god, or the grace of the film's star. I'd much rather be allowed into all the rooms and not have to beg for entry."

There's no doubt that Bill Murray is a PITA, but I've heard similar things about Richard Dreyfuss. And Richard Dreyfuss seems far less affable.

That's really funny. Call someone else a "pig" and claim to loathe them and then proceed to come off as the worlds biggest asshole yourself...

I've heard Dreyfuss is a major dick to his fans. Could have been he was having multiple bad days, but...

Apparently everyday of his professional life has been a bad day.

I absolutely hate hearing stories about actors I like being dickheads. Like Jeremy Piven - he's absolutely awesome on camera, but he's a huge douchebag in real life. Ugh.

I always suspected Piven was a douchebag in real life. And I like him as an actor.

Google "jeremy piven douchebag" and you'll get plenty of different stories. :(

That doesn't happen when I google "banzai_cat douchebag". The story is remarkably consistent.

Your game collection suggests otherwise.

There should be an asshole-off between Dreyfuss, Murray and Chevy Chase.  My money is on Bill to bring the prize home.

Not sure...I've heard Chase is a supreme asshat.

You're probably right.  The stories about his time on Community alone were asshattery beyond comprehension.  I guess that's why Murray and Chase hated each other with such a passion, like two alpha dogs thrown into a confined space.

I think Bill would have the sheer comedic chops and talent to bring away an asshole trophy from a competition with Dreyfuss and Chase. Chase, I've heard too, is a supreme dickhead and has been since the early days of SNL. At least, those are the first stories I heard about him being an asshat behind the scenes.

Chevy Chase is almost legendary as a prick. He was a dickhead on Community.

From what I've read/heard Murray is a decent guy, but he's a huge PITA to work with.

I always root for the shark. Keep hoping for an alternate ending.
